Our Expertise
Tax
Praised by clients in Legal 500 for its "high degree of strategic legal advice and personal attention", our corporate tax law practice increasingly acts as primary tax adviser to companies and their shareholders on investments, corporate acquisitions, disposals and other transactions, and for all taxes in property transactions.
We also advise on the complex stamp duty, stamp duty land tax, VAT and capital gains tax aspects of a number of transactions involving UK and overseas high value limited and limited liability partnerships holding and dealing in financial and property investments.
The need to provide tax advice relating to employment is also growing: including, in particular, situations involving director shareholders, an area of developing tax complexity due to the scope of detailed employment related securities tax provisions.
Tax advice involving public and third sector bodies is another area of considerable experience through our work in the fields of PFI/PPP and charitable organisations.
